Increase log level on the fly?

[Erlend Leganger‏]

Is there a way to increase the log level on the fly, so that I can see which policies are visited (and possibly repaired)? Something in between the report below from the promise summary log and running cf-agent in verbose mode? I would like to know which are those 0.20% policies that sometimes are being repaired (see last line below).

Tough ask -- insight into which promises are being repaired / not-kept is part of the CFEngine Enterprise value add. However I don't represent CFEngine.

In the meantime, you can log which promises are being repaired by adding an "action logme" to every promise: https://docs.cfengine.com/lts/examples-example-snippets-system-information.html#logging

OK, thanks. I ended up with brute forcing it with the simple loop below, then I found the file that some script regularly changed perms on, which then cfe reset, over and over again... Not the best solution, but it did the trick here.

Thanks,

Erlend
